Water is Scarce: Save it for next Generation
By Amita
Water scarcity refers to the lack of safe and clean water for human and animal consumption and other purposes. Due to increase in population, the demand for water has gone up alarmingly. Moreover, due to negligence, many water bodies have become polluted , shrunk or dried up .The Underground water level has also depleted due to over drawing for agriculture,domestic and construction purposes. Also many taps provided by Municipal corporation on the roadside are either leaking or left running by careless public.
People face grave problems due to water shortage.Many have to manage with Water supply at fixed hours , some have to carry water for long distances , whereas many have to wait in queques to get water for everyday needs from tankers.
If buckets are used instead of showers , taps are tightly closed , water meters are fitted to all tube Wells and water pumps , leaking pipes are repaired , and people are made aware about shortage of water , the situation can improve . Heavy fines should also be imposed on those polluting water bodies and also on those who waste water. These precautionary measures can avert a gigantic problem because water is essential for all living beings.
